The Martin D-12E Road Series delivers outstanding tone, modern features, and road-ready reliability—all at an incredible value. Featuring a gloss-finished Sitka spruce top paired with sapele back and sides, this Dreadnought offers a bold, balanced sound with great projection and clarity. The scalloped X-bracing enhances the guitar’s resonance and dynamic response, making it equally suitable for strumming, flatpicking, and fingerstyle playing.

The Performing Artist neck profile with a High-Performance Taper ensures smooth, comfortable playability, while the FSC® Certified Richlite® fingerboard and bridge provide consistent feel and durability. Stylish touches like the Style 28 rosette and Style 18 back purfling complete this stage-ready package, and it comes with a premium softshell case for easy transport.
